New Super Mario Bros. - card and case only - $10
Very good game, better than I was expecting. For some reason I wasn't expecting this game to be great (good, but not great, or something?), but having beat the first world, it clearly is quite good. Good price for the game, too. :)
The rest of the stuff was from a place having a sale. That's the main reason I got most of it, really. $16 for all of it...
Zen: Intergalactic Ninja (Game Boy) - cart, case, and manual
James Pond II - Codename: Robocod (Genesis) - cart and case
The Adventures of Dino-Riki (NES) - cart, slipcover, and manual
SplashDown: Rides Gone Wild (PS2) - complete
BattleTanx: Global Assault (PSX) - disc and DVD-style Blockbuster case
Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer (Dreamcast) - complete
... I know I probably should have passed on Ep.1 Racer, I've always found the N64 version really frustrating thanks to the insane difficulty level the game gets to, but it was just $2 so... um... yeah, now I own the game for three platforms (N64, PC, DC). I don't know if I'll play it much.
Dino-Riki... eh, subpar for a Hudson shooter really, unfortunately. It's very hard and unforgiving, and it's really easy to die in the jumping parts. As a shmup where you walk on the ground and can jump, it kind of feels like a much less good version of Legend of Valkyrie or something... or something like King's Knight but with jumping? Either way, it'll take practice to get anywhere in this one...
Battletanx GA PSX... eh, the N64 game is fantastic, but the PSX version isn't anywhere near as good. Worse graphics, 2 players only instead of four, and more... I just got it to have it, because I love the series (BTGA N64 especially) and for comparison purposes more than anything.
The others I haven't played yet. I should note though that I do already have James Pond 1 and 3 for Genesis, so this completes the series, and it's too bad that SplashDown 2 here was PS2 only, because the first game's also on Xbox and almost everything on both PS2 and Xbox is better on Xbox... oh well.
